My easel painting Coyote Creek by Hellyer ParkPainting Coyote Creek under the Hellyer Road Bridge
Here is the plein air painting I did that day–
Christmas Day, 8×10, oil on panel
A year later it was bone dry (This photo was taken just a few miles upstream November 1, 2014)
Coyote Creek
Today it looked like this…
Coyote Creek 1/9/16

You can still see some of the fall color I painted in the upper left, and the trees on the right are in about 3-4 feet of water.

More rain is on the way, so hopefully I can check out some of the other creeks which were dry just a year ago!
